AccsMap

It is a comprehensive input, reporting, analysis and validation system for road accidents, enabling data to be viewed and interrogated on a map background. AccsMap is able to provide full STATS 21 validation with Department for Transport (DfT) exports and the justification of safety camera sites.

INTERROGATION TOOLS

• Querying facilities for selective analysis of accident data
• Comprehensive range of analytical and reporting tools
• Overview facility to look at the whole area at once

COLLISION ANALYSIS

•  Clear Display of multiple collisions at single locations
•  Full or summary details on individual collisions or clusters are accessed at the click of a mouse
•  Interactive Cluster and Route analysis of user-defined selections of collision records
•  Before and after monitoring with statistical analyses of predefined areas and camera sites
•  Regular enhancements to manage changes brought about by quality reviews and other DfT requirements
•  Functionality for civil and criminal litigation and case tracking

DATA INPUT AND VALIDATION

• Validation of collision data in accordance with STATS 21 and DfT export
• Clear and easy to use to simplify input of new accident data
• Multi-level security to allow appropriate access to unvalidated accident records

Rapid access to data

• AccsMap comes with your own customised loading program, so that new data can be loaded for use as soon as it is received. The system includes buildings and street gazetteers and a link to OS Address
• Point, as well as an in-built search facility to find particular collisions, clusters or areas to ensure a rapid response to accident queries
• Full or summary details on individual collisions or clusters are called up at the click of a mouse.  In addition to STATS 19 data, information and case records can be appended.

Specialist module for safety camera sites

• The safety camera module enables you to map the location of camera sites, check their suitability against published criteria, and automatically produce the returns to update the Department for Transport's Safety Cameras Data Collection Tool. Other features include recording of officer time spent on site and the number of notices issued.

Selective querying of accident database

• Flexible querying enables accident searches to be fine-tuned through a number of stages to meet very specific requirements. Detailed queries may be stored for repeated use as a single selection, providing time savings and consistency in reporting.
• AccsMap was built specifically to deal with the complexities of STATS 19 accident data. It helps users deal easily with the accident-vehicle-casualty structure and permits querying at each of these levels.

Optional input and validation module

• Designed for those who act as DfT local processing authorities and input data direct from paper forms. Pull-down lists and easy placing of new accidents on the map simplify data input, while colour coding distinguishes between accidents at different stages of validation. AccsMap offers full STATS 21 validation, as well as many additional checks, and enables unvalidated accidents to be viewed and processed separately before being made available to other users. Data export formats include DfT and Access tables.

Open systems

• AccsMap has facilities to connect to other systems and to link to external data sources. It is a member of the TraffMap suite of traffic engineering systems that enable many types of information to be viewed simultaneously on the same base map. Base mapping may be read from most GIS servers without replication or conversion. Data import via a variety of commonly used formats allows collision data to be passed between authorities.
